john mccain was a candidate in 2008, carried arizona. we don't have that this time. hispanic voters could deliver potentially for barack obama in arizona. >> part of this is trying to shape the conversation so that obama folks want to say the map isnormous, we can play in all sorts of states, including arizona, which is a very red state. the argument is because there are so many hispanic voters and mitt romney is 40 points behind the president among hispanics. but when you talk to democrats candidly, they say arizona is not in play. the roll any team says we're not going to worry about arizona and the places to look at are some traditional ones -- colorado, ohio, virginia. if you had to pick four states to pay attention, to pick those. a couple of interesting states to watch is north carolina. the president won there in 2008. he may not win there this time. pennsylvania is one that might be a battleground but that likely might stay in the obama camp. those are two that might go into their various camps. >> romney spent some time with marco rubio and clearly that is a
